If you continue to have issue use an annealed copper plate for a hesdgasket. It will seal much better than a fiber gasket and can help with minor imperfections

That'd work quite well. not to mention it can be re-used too if they need to remove the heads by just annealing the gasket again.

I don't think its running on 6 cylinders, if as I think you have one spark plug piggy backed of another one then only one will spark as electricity will always take the easiest path. You need to modify the ignition system.

All they have to do is modify any 6cyl distributor to have the lada base, they are easily capable of doing this, hopefully they do.

You need wheel hub gears for it to work with axial type hydraulic motors, adequate radial types are too expensive and still need about 0.5 rpm to start pulling, would still be problematic to get it rolling. Forklifts use axial motors and hub gear, feels redundant to point out how slow they are.

[@samsungtvset3398]

When a spark plug fires, the voltage across it drops from 15-20kV to about 1500V for the remaining duration of the spark. This motor has the plugs for the two additional cylinders connected to two existing plugs. That means when one of the paired plugs fires it will steal the voltage needed for the other plug to fire. It is rare for two plugs to fire at exactly the same voltage, so whichever one fires easiest will prevent it's mate from firing. So the motor will not consistently run very well.

[@TM-dh2xb]

Would it be possible to change the alternator, battery, and/or coil to increase voltage?

[@ExplizitDuester]

@@TM-dh2xb 6-cylinder distributor and single coils would be my idea but IDK never build a 6cylinder lada

[@rosiehawtrey]

There's a reason for that, torsional rigidity or lack of it, plus the length of the thing, they were hard to package in an aero shell, eg the Tatra T77/87/600/603 use a V8 and even then they chose a RR drivetrain for aero, noise reduction and space.

[@skdzgameplays2078]

Need a bigger exhaust to get rid of exhaust gasses more efficiently, could be chokin power with the tiny lada exhaust

[@pflaffik]

I disagree, bigger will not be significantly better before you reach high revs, even a classic Alfa Romeo twincam will run great on tiny exhaust until the revs get to about 6000-8000. For a Lada at max 4000 rpm the problem will never surface.
